Amazing experience at Elephant Kingdom Samui! - What a wonderful and heartwarming visit! The elephants are treated with so much love and respect, and it truly shows. Our family had an unforgettable time — learning, feeding, and spending time up close with these gentle giants. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly care deeply about the animals. A must-visit experience for anyone coming to Koh Samui!

Loved meeting the elephants up close - This was such a fantastic experience! I went with my two teenage kids and we absolutely loved seeing the elephants. We were slowly introduced to them. First making some food for them & then feeding them that food with railings in between us. Then we walked along the amazing skywalk to give us a different perspective of the elephants and their sanctuary. We also got to feed them from above. And then finally, we got to meet them up close with their mahouts. You can definitely see the bond between the elephants and their mahouts. I don't know how this compares to other sanctuaries on the island, but I loved that you really met them where they were at and didn't swim with them as a source of entertainment. I highly, highly recommend this!! And oh, getting picked up at our location + a yummy lunch was also included.

Interactive visit with the Elephants - Very cool place. Treat animals very well. At no time are they forced to work. The only thing they do is interact with the visitors in their Mood to feed. At the end of the tour a light and natural Thai food is served

Unforgettable afternoon - An unforgettable afternoon with the elephants, who are visibly well and are very well looked after! We got a lot of interesting information from our German speaking guide!

Wonderful morning with the elephants - It was an all around great experience! I was there with my little son (1,5) and we had a very nice morning. We made energy balls, fed the elephants from the ground and from Skywalk and finally there was a meeting with the elephants. The Guid was just great, speaks fluent German and could answer all questions about the elephants. Can really only recommend the visit and was very happy after the experience!

Elephant Kingdom - It’s an adventure to live! 🐘 During our morning at the elephant kingdom we were able to prepare food and then feed the elephants with our preparation. We were also able to enter their enclosure to pet them and take pictures with them. The guide you had explained in detail the difference between elephants and their environment. This experience is very rewarding, we loved it!

A very good tour. Well worth the price - The elephant sanctuary tour was as ethical as could be expected. Everyone enjoyed the interactive parts of feeding the elephants, making the power balls and finally being inside the enclosure with them, under supervision of course. Everything is very safe for both the humans and the elephants. As these elephants were rescued from working environments ( logging or tourism) they are not wild in the sense that they have interacted with humans for most of their lives. Absolutely worth the price.

Sad story - Still People control the elephants. You can have a special vip groundtour to make pictures of all the elephants. This is not natural behaviour but a sad story. Stop with this extra offer of 2880 thb! Tourist can not depend how the elephants have to behave. And a caretaker pulled on the elephants ears we saw.
